SVGReplicate

Tool for batch modifying and replicating SVG files.

Installation

Install from PyPI by running pip install svgreplicate.

Usage

Create an SVG file, either by hand or with your favorite vector graphics tool, like InkScape:

<svg
    width="210mm"
    height="297mm" 
    id="svg" 
    version="1.1"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
    <g id="group1">
        <ellipse
            style="opacity:1;fill:#009bff"
            id="ellipse1"
            cx="0.0"
            cy="0.0"
            rx="10.0"
            ry="10.0" />
        <g id="group2" />
    <text id="text1">
        <tspan>First text</tspan>
        <tspan>Second text 
            <tspan>Nested text</tspan> 
        </tspan>
    </text>
    </g>
</svg>

Next, create a json with the replicas you want:

[
    {
        "filename": "example/replica1.svg", 
        "modifications": [
        	{"id": "ellipse1", "style": {"fill": "#000000", "display": "none"}},
        	{"id": "group2", "style": {"display": "none"}},
        	{"id": "text1", "text": "Hello, world!"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "filename": "example/replica2.svg",
        "modifications": [
                {"id": "ellipse1", "style": {"fill": "#ffffff", "display": "none"}},
                {"id": "group2", "style": {"display": "none"}},
                {"id": "text1", "text": "Here's Johnny!"}
        ]
    }
]

And finally, run the script:

svgreplicate --filename path-to-svg-template.svg --replicas path-to-replicas-config.json 

You now have 2 files in the example folder, based on the template, with the specified modifications.

Backlog

In future, I'd like to add at least the functionality for automatically rendering to PNG.
